In depth
Verdict
This appears to rest between Bit O'Speed and Epsilo De La Ronce, with the latter just preferred after a series of solid efforts of late. The 11-year-old can be a tricky ride but he does respond well for today's jockey and the partnership are taken to land this race for the second season in succession. Bit O'Speed does not always live up to his name, but is selected over Line Apple as the main danger after an encouraging effort over a slightly further trip at Stratford last time out.
